Clearly SA is living in the future - this is something we've known for almost a year.

VIDEO: Violence will not be tolerated on June 30

South Africa's police top brass have issued a strong warning against carrying weapons, including traditional weapons, during next week’s anti-illegal immigration marches.

SAPS management gave an update on Monday over its readiness for the June 30 demonstrations, which activist groups have declared as a deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country.

National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Natjoints) Chairperson Tebello Mosikili said that law enforcement would act swiftly against anyone found in possession of weapons during the protests.

"While we respect the constitutional right to protest, demonstrations must remain peaceful and must not endanger lives or property," Mosikili said.

JUNE 30 SECURITY COST

"I can tell you that it's going to cost the South African police service over R600 million ($37M)," said Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia.

Cachalia said law enforcement would be out in full force and would not tolerate criminality or incitement to violence.

SA Health Minister: "This doesn't come as surprise"

Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia says South Africa’s security apparatus is fully prepared for June 30, with the government placing law enforcement on heightened alert amid concerns over potential unrest and criminal disruptions.

Cachalia made the remarks on Monday during a briefing on national security readiness following a review of the integrated NATJOINTS operational plan.

He was joined by Defence Minister Angie Motshekga, deputy ministers Cassel Mathale and Dr Polly Boshielo, and senior SAPS leadership led by Acting National Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane.

Concerns are emerging that growing anti-immigrant sentiment could boil over into widespread civil unrest similar to the July 2021 Riots.

Worryingly, there is also uncertainty about whether South Africa’s police and defence forces would be able to weather a crisis of this magnitude, in light of revelations before the Madlanga Commission.

This is feedback from the Bureau for Economic Research’s Natasha Marrian, who warned that South Africa faces a looming deadline – 30 June 2026.

This is the deadline set by the anti-immigration movement for all illegal foreign nationals to leave South Africa.

It comes as South Africa has seen a sharp rise in anti-immigrant sentiment over the past few months, which has started boiling over into widespread street protests and vigilante action.

A citizen-led movement, ‘March and March’, has been at the forefront of protests against illegal immigration, aggressively campaigning for stricter enforcement and mass deportations.

March and March issued a public ultimatum for all undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa to leave the country voluntarily by 30 June, threatening a national shutdown should this not happen.

However, President Cyril Ramaphosa has rejected the deadline, saying it was unnecessary and that the government was doing all it could to address concerns about the crisis of illegal immigration.

Now, Marrian said ANC party insiders are concerned that “the growing proximity between elements of the anti-immigrant movement and former president Jacob Zuma’s MK Party could increase the risk of unrest, similar to that witnessed in July 2021”.

She said this is a particular risk in the run-up to the 4 November local government election, and, concerningly, South Africa may not be prepared to weather such a storm.

Marrian said KwaZulu-Natal has emerged as a focal point for migrants seeking to leave South Africa, with many being moved to Durban’s Sherwood suburb from Gauteng and the Western Cape.

“The South African government is now moving to deport people from the site. Another makeshift refugee camp was set up by the provincial government in eThekwini on Thursday,” she said.

“It is set to be temporary, to relieve the pressure of the Sherwood camp, which has grown to over 10,000 people.”

The government has also launched an interministerial committee, chaired by Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi.

This committee has been tasked with developing a five-point response plan focusing on border security, law enforcement, humanitarian support, international relations, and improvements to Home Affairs systems and data integration.

“While the committee’s interventions are important, most are medium- to long-term,” Marrian said.

“It has yet to outline a detailed security response to the immediate risks surrounding the 30 June deadline.”

Ramaphosa has warned groups mobilising around immigration against attempts to destabilise the country, yet this has done little to ease concerns about a potential repeat of the July 2021 riots.

“While Ramaphosa said this week that security forces were on high alert, there are concerns about the police’s ability to weather such a crisis, given their internal instability,” Marrian said.

“This is the result of the tumult at the highest levels, caused by revelations before the Madlanga Commission.”

The Madlanga commission has been investigating claims of corruption and mismanagement at the highest levels of South Africa’s law enforcement agencies.

This investigation has revealed widespread instability in South Africa’s police force, adding to concerns about the force’s ability to handle a crisis similar to the July 2021 Riots.

“Whether Ramaphosa acknowledges it or not, the June 30 deadline looms large over South Africa,” Marrian said.

In the meantime, some groups are looking to dissuade South Africans from taking part in anti-immigrant movements.

For example, four major unions, including the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), recently issued a statement saying that workers would not be protected if they did not go to work on 30 June.

“We urge workers to report for duty and not place their employment at risk,” they said.

“Removing foreign nationals from workplaces, communities, or public spaces will not reopen factories, repair municipalities, strengthen public healthcare or create sustainable jobs.”

This old news. They cut when Trump was busy talking about a white genocide. We've since plugged that hole in our budget.

Propagandists hard at work.

Keep crossing fingers for other countries to fall than yours to thrive, that's how jealousy works.

Spot on.

Idaytesj29:
You have to even question your country why only the lows from Nigeria comes to your country.

You just admitted what most Nigerians are in denial of.

When we say it we are called xenophobic.

Idaytesj29:
True! Because they have more SA option. But if Other men comes in more and they have the opportunity of comparison, you guys can't cope. They will pick 9ja men over you 100 times over

But you're taboo in SA - fraudsters, drug dealers, corrupt, unethical. Not sure about your "100 times over" - delusions.

Only women with low morals and junkies date Nigerian men in SA, and SA women don't want that tag.

Social media is awash with videos of South Africans of all races out in full force in the US during the Bafana Bafana vs Czechia match.

White South Africans are not traditional soccer fans but they have turned up in their hundreds in the US to support their home team.

This comes amidst a social media boycott by some African countries of the SA team at the World Cup due to anti-illegal migration protests.

This also as there have been attempts to sow divisions between the different races in South Africa by the Trump administration as well as some disgruntled social media users across Africa.

A gorgeous Bafana Bafana fan went viral online after a broadcast camera captured her stunning beauty during a crucial national team match. The clip was uploaded to TikTok on 18 June 2026 during South Africa's intense fixture at the Atlanta Stadium in Georgia. The woman’s vibrant Zulu attire and graceful face captured the hearts of local viewers who rallied online to see her smile.

The live television broadcast briefly moved away from the pitch to capture a South African woman looking worried in the stands. At that moment, the national team was trailing behind as the scoreboard read 1-0. Despite the tense atmosphere on the field, the woman’s striking beauty and bright traditional attire, beautifully inspired by the colours of the South African flag, mesmerised viewers back home.

Social media users recorded the television screen to share her image across various platforms. TikTok user @owami_focus shared the footage, pleading with Bafana Bafana to turn the game around and secure a result to make the elegant supporter happy.

Many viewers were in awe of her flawless appearance, with several noting that they knew the moment she flashed on screens, she was destined to trend across the country.

On Friday, June 19, 2026, award-winning artist Makhadzi was mobbed by hundreds of fans in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The singer faced an ordeal after her supporters got out of hand. The frenzy led to a broken bumper on the transport, and she sincerely apologised to the driver. Makhadzi assured her fanbase that she was not personally attacked but was rather a victim of pure love from the Congolese people.

Makhadzi took to social media to explain the incident with fans in Congo, describing it as both humbling and terrifying. The attention is a testament to Makhadzi's soaring popularity outside of South Africa. Since her international breakthrough, she is settling into continental icon status. She attracts massive crowds in neighbouring nations such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, and the DRC. Her ability to transcend language with her Venda-infused house rhythms solidified her status as one of the most-streamed and sought-after African female artists of the decade.

Fans expressed relief and concern for Makhadzi, but some admitted they would have done the same. Despite the property damage, her supporters felt the Congolese fans were justified in being in awe at her status as a global superstar.

Unfortunately you can't gaslight me.

So you agree that South Africans are also major drug dealers and traffickers? Do you agree?
So whats the probability that its a foreigner who sold the drugs to that woman's son turning him into a zombie and not your fellow South Africans in the big 5 cartel?
Why would your mind think it's a foreigner?
Do you agree that for thinking that way you are xenophobic, in thought, in words and probably in action?

People who live in proximity to certain foreign nationals such as Nigerians are exposed to drugs, such as people who live in ganglands where the government sent the army early this year in Joburg and Cape Town. You're the one gaslighting us while you sit in Nigeria with no clue of how SA operates.

Can you tell us if Christopher Carelse is a foreigner? What about Raed Cupido?
What about the big 5 cartel?
Are they foreigners too?

If you no answer me, may stray dog bite you on Sunday morning.

Are they not being exposed at the Madlanga Commission and being investigated and prosecuted? Aren't SA news dominated by court cases?

But once we name the foreign criminals we are xenophobic, jealous, lazy, ugly.

AllBlack:
No drug sale in 2026 can be linked to a South African.

clap for yourself

We're not in denial like all of you. At the beginning of this year the army was deployed to gang ridden areas of SA so we know we have our own criminals.

This woman and many other victims who live in foreigner inhabited areas also know who the criminals are in their areas.

But I'll leave you to be the expert on SA.

An illegal immigrant is likely to do illegal stuff. But they hate legal and illegal over there.

Make una sef leave their country for them oh... go back your own country true true

I'm on debating break until further notice

Imagine foreigners invalidating a mother who's lost her son to drugs they sell (he's become a zombie) and them in return saying she's jealous of them. Wouldn't you wanna assault them after that - be honest?

The sooner such people leave SA, the sooner the country will work on social cohesion with sane foreign nationals.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) police say Wednesday’s chaotic scenes at Sherwood Hall won't be repeated, citing a heightened security presence.

Malawian nationals, who have spent nearly two weeks at the community shelter demanding repatriation, grew frustrated over miscommunication, pelting law enforcement personnel and vehicles with stones.

Several vehicles were damaged during the protest.

Police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda said measures are now in place to maintain order.

"The area has since been cordoned off to ensure that no new people arrive at the hall, this after it was realised that the numbers were growing each day because of new people who were coming from all over the country and that overwhelmed the operation by the Home Affairs officials and specialised courts," Netshiunda said.

"The area is calm; however, police presence is maintained to prevent any chaos."

South African TV presenter, dancer and actor Siv Ngesi was left amused by the amount of support The Polygamist has been receiving from people who were hell-bent on boycotting anything South African.

Simultaneously, the show climbed to the top spot in the South African Netflix charts, and it remains there.

"It is also ranked #2 in France, Mauritius, Qatar, Morocco and the UAE. Other Top 10 rankings include: Portugal (#3), UK (6), Canada (7), Spain (7), Germany (7) and Netherlands (7), USA (".
